Gold Dust

Can you even believe that I took this picture? It’s about as far from my usual black and white work as you can get isn’t it?

It was as though a pot of gold had spilled across the sky and collected into the low spots.

Two-track Way

It was extremely difficult for us to make any forward progress while driving around the Palouse: every single road that took off from the highway promised views like this. And every one of them that we didn’t drive on felt like a million missed opportunities.

Fay Stands Tall

I spent some time in this cemetery working on the angles and the angel so that I could get her lined up with the grain elevator. It wasn’t until much later that I noticed how the discoloration of her face gives her a certain crazed look.
